    Kessler WBA superchamp.

    Now it´s official. Mikkel Kessler has been upgradet to WBA´s superchamp. This means Mundine has to face somebody for the vacant world title.

    Do we have an all aussie battle for the tittle, or will Lacy defeat Vitali Tsypko in dec. and demand the fight?
    Lacy vs. Mundine, would really show if Lacy picked up some new skills since the Calzaghe fight.
    The fight i would really like to see is Bute vs. Mundine...

    This is why the WBA is the least credible of the four major world titles.

      Team Palle expect WBC to make him superchamp as well. But yes, enough champs allready.

      The WBA superchamp title means he has 18 months to defend the title.

            LOL! THA DANISH F4G IS DUCKIN CALZAGHE!

            If roles were reversed, that'd be said about Calzaghe, no?

              Librado Andrade isn´t the choice of Kessler, but a mandatory fight he can´t get out off.. Yes i know Calzaghe doesn´t have to take on his mandatory challengers, but that has to be some special Calzaghe and wbo rules. awoiding a mandatory would be called duckin - yes?

              I´m not sure how an upgrade to wbc superchamp would effect this..

              Btw.. Palle hasn´t dismissed the calzaghe fight, as far as i know they are still negotiating..

                i think the IBF is, for obvious reasons.

                  Andrade was/is thre WBC mandatory and Kessler will/would have had to fight him or be stripped - UNLESS the WBC as expected pulls the superchamp trick.

                  Don't really like the superchamp concept at all - But in this case it could be what keeps the door open to a Kessler-Calzaghe fight.

                  IF ONLY CALZAGHE WANTED IT THAT IS!!!!!!

                  But here's todays Calzaghe quote:
                  JC: I've heard I'll be fighting the Dane Mikkel Kessler to unify the division in February in Europe, but I'm not interested in him - he doesn't mean anything to America.

                  Now tell me once again - who's the F4G or whatever you call it?
                  Did i hear you say Joe? - probably not - but you should.

                    The superchamp CONCEPT is just another way to say SANCTIONING FEES!!!
                    Its garbage.. I am very dissapointed in Calzaghe for saying that... All that momentumn he built up.. and NOW he will just fade back to obscurity.. what a fool.. Hopefully after his mandatory Kessler will have some meaninful fights then.. And then he will truly be the SMW champ... Its not the belts but WHO you fight in my book..
